We have another BBR special episode for you this week! Greg, Dave and John got to talk with Chazz and Shaw of the Ball Burglars. We talk about Ball Burglar, secret code names, and of course... Buffalo Bills football!

The Ball Burglar is a mysterious Bills fan who decided he would offer to get Mr. Wilson's football back for him (it says "Wilson" right on the football...) if people would donate money to help sick kids in exchange for his services. This was back in 2004, and in one year (2003-2004) the Bills went from worst to first in takeaways! Nice job, Ball Burglar!

The Ball Burglars keep growing in number, and in donations. This year they are partnering with Jim Kelly and Hunter's Hope with a special challenge from Jim. Any Bills Backers chapter who collectively raises over $10,000 gets a chance to have Jim and Thurman Thomas - two Bills Hall of Famers! - visit their regular chapter meeting. Not a bad deal!

Fun show, and a great way to add even more fun to watching Bills football, and help out some sick kids and their families at the same time.

If you're interested in pledging to donate some money per takeaway, visit the Ball Burglar website, and click on the big PLEDGE button. When you select your Bills Backers chapter, you can pick "Buffalo Bills Review" from the drop down. Let's see how much BBR can raise to help Hunter's Hope this season!

Bills football is here! And we want to hear from you! Send us your comments or questions regarding Bills football to theshow@buffalobillsreview.com, or call the LISTENER HOTLINE 24/7 at (716) 989-4180. We'd love for you to join the conversation! And, always better to keep it "pithy". Really.

Thanks for joining us for the Buffalo Bills Review: a show by Bills fans, for Bills fans!
